[Kris135]

Uno survived this program.

Shoma is so smooth on the ice. This Gravity program fits him so well. Well done. The best I have seen him skate this program.

 

[EdgeCall]

What a clean, wonderfully smooth run.

The music was well chosen. Just the right style in this situation to capture the audience.

 

[DancingCactus]

YES!!! Now give him the PCS!

 

[yesterday]

all is alright Shoma

 

[anonymoose_au]

That was a fabulous spin entry! Respect!

And hey Shoma fist pumps! That's unusual.

There is a sea of Japanese flags

Stephane hugs!

Shoma was brilliant as always. Love his performance.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Little dude held it together! As usual, great step sequence. Missing the 3T won’t be as costly as all that, but he’s not going to have a big lead either.

 

[auser]

Thank you Shoma for this beautiful skate. Just rediscovering little treasures like how expressive his hand movements are. No more words.

 

[yelyoh]

That will go into first but it shouldn't. Program nice but a bit empty compared to Jun Keegan Kevin and Jason. But he will be awarded the PCS to be in first.

@elektra blue, I think you need to go into protective Italian Mama mode. Your kid is getting propositioned...

CaroLiza_fan

can they make a good tiramisù? how do they like their pineapple?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Shoma survived, i hope his ankle is feeling well too

This was not the nostalgia I needed for Yuzu's competitive days
Really, really hope Shoma is able to rest and recover after this competition, I want him to nail the free too but most of all I want him to be able to keep competing and be healthy

 

[anonymoose_au]

Shoma wins the length award for his 3A today!

Haha Stephane is egging him on there.

 

[Kris135]

He is limping walking to kiss and cry. He did that skate on courage and adrenaline nothing else

 

[snowflake]

104.63 in first

 

[CrazyKittenLady]

Go Adam!!!!

 

[LadyB]

And the gauntlet is down for Malinin. It'll be some showdown.

 

[bartlebooth]

Adam, please

 

[cheerknithanson]

I'm not mad. That was fantastic.

The return of "please fight for the triple toe" which has been my catchphrase for the past two years
